The core of FreewayCamper is a digital booking platform<\/a>, which replaces the traditional inquiry forms with a clear process. Customers can see availability directly on the website and book with just a few clicks. The camper can then be picked up at the rental station on Tegernseer Landstra\u00dfe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCamper rental and digital booking of campsites form the foundation of FreewayCamper, and we will build on this by adding further offers in the camping market to the platform,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

explains co-founder Maximilian Wagner<\/strong>Together with Julia Blum and Nikolai Voitiouk-Blum, he raised the Startup<\/a> Launched at the end of 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"We were able to quickly enter the camping market by renting campers and motorhomes. The platform, campers, and rental station in the south of Munich were ready just in time for the Easter season. We were able to really get started with the end of the COVID-19 lockdown in May. Since then, our fleet of over 30 campers has been almost continuously fully booked. We've learned a lot during this time and are looking to really get going in 2021."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

reported Nikolai Voitiouk-Blum<\/strong>FreewayCamper intends to use the current off-season to prepare for growth in 2021, and then launch next season with new rental stations throughout Germany and the booking function for campsites. The capital raised now plays an important role in these plans. Since September 2020, FreewayCamper has been receiving Plant1<\/a> additional funding from the Free State of Bavaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe find FreewayCamper\u2019s approach extremely exciting\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Andr\u00e9 Schw\u00e4mmlein<\/strong>, co-founder of Flixbus and SEK Ventures on his new investment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"The digitalization of traditional industries is part of our entrepreneurial DNA \u2013 therefore, we find FreewayCamper's approach extremely exciting and are pleased with our investment in driving progress in the booming camping market. The founding team's wealth of experience and the breathtaking pace at which the business was built were additional convincing factors."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
